“…• Adaptation Features and RE: Analysis of the RE proposal with regard to the adaptation features necessary for post-WIMP systems. Moreover, the proposal will be integrated into a new version of UsiXML (USer Interface eXtensible Markup Language) [7,22]. This language, in whose definition the LoUISE group has been actively involved, is widely accepted by the community for expressive capabilities for specifying adaptation needs of WIMP systems.…”

A proper requirements specification is paramount for achieving the quality of the developed software products. However, well-known Requirements Engineering (RE) techniques lack of enough expressiveness to model the requirements of CSCW systems (Computer Supported Collaborative Work). This is due to the inherent complexity of collaboration among users and their need of awareness. Moreover, the way in which users interact with CSCW systems have evolved greatly to more sophisticated interfaces, beyond the classical desktop computer environments, to those called Post-WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer). Awareness is magnified in such a way that users have to be aware of their context: the artifacts with which to interact, his/her own capabilities as well as those of the others. All this awareness is necessary to allow them to collaborate in virtual and/or augmented environments. This PhD thesis aims at solving this problem by developing a RE framework able to deal with the requirements of CSCW and Post-WIMP systems, making emphasis on the awareness requirements about user's context.

“…Interfaces (UI) design has been also proposed (Figueroa-Martinez et al 2013) and extended to support collaborative information requirements. Both languages were designed for all-purpose collaborative systems and thus lack the detail that data warehouse and BI requirements modeling approaches, such as Giorgini et al's (Giorgini et al 2008) and (Reference removed for blind review) do provide.…”

Problem definition: Collaborative Business Intelligence (BI) is being widely embraced for enterprises as a way to make the most of their business processes. However, decision makers usually work in isolation without the knowledge or the time needed to obtain and analyze all the available information for making decisions. Relevance: Unfortunately, collaborative BI is currently based on interchanging e-mails and documents between participants. As result, information may be lost, participants may become disoriented, and the decision-making task many not yield the needed results. Methodology: We are proposing a modeling language aimed at modeling and eliciting the goals and information needs of participants of collaborative BI systems. This approach is based on innovative methods to elicitate and model collaborative systems and BI requirements. A controlled experiment was performed to validate this language, assessing its understandability, scalability, efficiency and user satisfaction by analyzing two collaborative BI systems. Results: By using the framework proposed in this work, a clear view can be provided regarding: (i) collaborative tasks, (ii) their participants, and (iii) the information to be shared among them. Managerial implications: By using our approach to design collaborative BI systems, practitioners may easily trace every element needed in the decision processes, avoiding the loss of information and facilitating the collaboration of the stakeholders of such processes.

“…Other studies are currently being conducted aimed at the systematization of considering WA during the development of CSCW. For instance, Figueroa‐Martinez et al enriched UsiXML, a language for the specification of user interfaces, with WA support to integrate WA into a model‐driven user interface development process. Similarly, CSRML has been defined by extending the Goal‐Oriented (GO) language i* to support the specification of WA as well as to model user collaboration.…”

As in any other system, an accurate requirements specification is essential to developing a collaborative system, which has special kinds of requirements that are hard to specify by means of current Requirements Engineering techniques. The Collaborative Systems Requirement Modeling Framework (CSRMF) was developed to address this problem; the original Collaborative Systems Requirement Modeling Language was extended and modeled to properly deal with collaboration and awareness requirements. The developed CSRMF framework consists of 3 components: an Requirements Engineering modeling language able to represent collaboration among users as well as awareness needs, a set of design guidelines that drive Computer Supported Cooperative Work system specification by means of 5 different types of diagrams, and a supporting computer-aided software engineering tool to specify and validate Computer Supported Cooperative Work system requirements. CSRMF provides Requirements Engineers with a complete solution to the specification of awareness-demanding collaborative systems, as they can now take advantage of a language and a set of guidelines supported by a tool to guide them in specifying system requirements.
